Better things at higher prices

[MidAndy]

I received as a gift nice 1000 thread count sheets and they do feel luxurious and more comfortable compared to the cheap ones I had before. What are other things that are significantly better at slightly higher price ranges? What else have I been missing?

But it could. A drugged out street hustler giving a blow job while chewing gum might be outdone by a professional escort giving a blow job for $100, all the time thinking of your pleasure.

And a professional escort can be outdone by a college kid who really likes to suck cock and really needs $20 this night.

But the thread title is better things at higher prices.

I remember the 1970’s fondly!

There's a saying, something like "The satisfaction of quality outlives the thrill of a bargain".

 

On the other hand, on a zoom call with old friends, I was drinking ALDI's $3 "Winking Owl" wine. One friend, always a fan of "the finer things", sniffed dismissively at that - a couple other friends chimed in to defend me and said they liked it too.

Genuine qtips as opposed to “cotton swabs”.

 

Neosporin as opposed to any “antibiotic ointment”.

 

Kellogg’s pop tarts over any “toaster pastry”.

 

if ever I lose all my money, these are the products I’ll find a way to afford and won’t ever buy generic. They’ll always be worth the premium price tag.

Generally speaking, quality always commands higher prices. Including escorts!

Bread, mattresses, footwear, olive oil

I agree regarding ?’s. I’m a bit of a shoe whore and I always splurge for good shoes. Cheap shoes can cause damage to your feet IME...

I disagree. Many things are over priced, over rated and fads jack up prices too. I like fine but niche items, I seldom follow the masses with their fads and tastes. How I love to find a good bargain, it's in my blood! ?

What you say is also true. Sometimes things that are not quality are overpriced and yet people still buy them. However that doesn't preclude the opposite. 18 karat gold is always more expensive than 10. Because it is of higher quality. Quality items may go on sale and discerning buyers will snap them up. But if items are scarce, they rarely, if ever, go on sale.

 

Isn't the market place always amazing! And such fun to navigate.

Escorts too haha

In my younger days, when "happy hour" was my world, I ordered only from the top shelf, which is probably the loan reason I still have my original liver.

Dry aged prime New York steaks

[EastbayMike]

Tools, both for house repairs and gardening (especially gardening).

 

Chocolate, for both baking and snacking.

 

Real maple syrup versus maple "flavored" syrup. Same for vanilla.

 

Pure cane sugar is superior to beet sugar for baking. I've also noticed a better result when baking with higher priced flours.

 

It cost a fortune but I've the same Miele vacuum for 15 years. Same for my Kichenaid Professional stand mixer and Wustolf knives (my step father was a meat cutter so I learned how to use a wet stone and honing steel as a kid).

 

Luggage

 

Regarding escorts and masseurs, in general my most memorable sessions have been with providers on the lower end of the fee scale.

Nice to meet you.

 

Re-reading my post i realized what a home body I've become in my late 50s! Not complaining.... I've had more than my share of adventures.

In London the next step is President Butter (French)....
